Description
Michif Lessons contains over 60 exercises to learn over 1000 Michif words. Categories range from Numbers, Months, Animals, Weather, the Body, Love, and more! Michif specialist Norman Fleury provided all of the translations, as well as the audio narrations that will help users pronounce the Michif terms correctly. Michif Lessons was developed by the Gabriel Dumont Institute and the app was created by Media Access and Production (eMAP), University of Saskatchewan.

Michif is the endangered orally-based language of the Métis people. Perhaps only 5-10% of the population are able to speak the language, with the majority being elders. The Gabriel Dumont Institute's mandate is to promote and preserve Métis culture and therefore has been developing resources that allow people to hear and read the language. Since Michif-Cree is an oral language, no standard orthography exists. As a result, the Institute recognizes the spelling conventions of Michif experts, such as Norman Fleury.

Ratings and Reviews
Can Be Challenging
But I gave it five stars because it’s such an easy way for me to learn my own people’s language! And it’s free which is the best way to share our culture and keep our language alive!
Good app!
Great for beginners! Throws your right into learning and allows you to hear pronunciation as well.
Not for beginners.
Not for beginners to the language. A fun matching game for those honing skills they have learned already. Not good for beginners who would be clueless.
